EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) Functions

Adds component information directly into the Optymo database from your supplier`s website with a single mouse click.

• Removes the risk of data entry errors and provides a broad list parts data and pricing information.
• Allows for the automatic updating of pricing, lead times, packaging and minimums data directly from the supplier website.

• Eliminates the risks associated with manual data entry and ensures the proper data is provided from the supplier.

Provides real-time access to product data sheets and product images from the supplier and/or manufacturer websites.

• Ensures the datasheets and images are the latest version with current data.

Simplifies the RFQ process

• Offers direct access to pricing and availability data on the supplier website thus removing the need to wait for a reply from the supplier using conventional methods such as email or fax.

Submit POs immediately

Provides an automated, quick and accurate PO submittal without the need to manually create or submit a PO to one or several suppliers

BOM Import and Management

Fully customizable BOM import wizard

• Simplifies the BOM import process by allowing you to create and save an importation configuration based on whatever data layout your Schematic Capture tool or other tools use.
• Save multiple configurations to support multiple EDA, PLM or other applications.

Parts imported from BOM are linked to existing parts in the Optymo Database

• Streamlines the process of procuring and reserving parts by linking the components in the BOM to what is available in inventory

New parts can be added from BOMs to the database quickly and easily

• Allows for instant database updates for required components if they did not previously exist in the database.

Substitute and/or equivalent components can be easily added in place of obsolete or unavailable components

Ability to add productions steps to BOMs including manpower and equipment required as well as an estimated time to complete each task.

Provides a very accurate calculation of the manufacturing cost and allows you to calculate margins based on MSRP and the maximum and minimum manufacturing costs.

BOM Version and Revision Control

Optymo provides Version and Revision Control for BOMs to simplify the management of multiple revisions in the design/supply/production of a product. Modern designs may require adaptation to user needs and to conform to various constraints and markets regulations leading to multiple versions of a single design. With Version and Revision Control, Optymo makes handling such designs straightforward thus saving time and money.

To simplify Version and Revision management of BOMs, Optymo provides:

• The ability to classify BOMs on 2 levels, allowing to group designs in families and sub families.
• Revision management.
• Configuration management covering optional parts, various quantities or different references.
• The ability to document BOMs and revisions.
• Tree view of BOMs for easier management.

Optymo provides the means to add supplementary manufacturing information to your BOMs.

• Component X/Y coordinates on PCB
• The Layer where the component is installed
• Manufacturing Designators
